Launch video:

Gettin’ a 1970’s/80’s vibe goin’ with the non-haircut.
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberAND the kitchen sink!
Shade just promotes gathering.
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberI found a few more internet pix of Kenny. Two from Summer of ’06, one from 2010 w/Dave Childs.
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberIt’s a real bummer to lose Kenny like that. He sure lived life on his own terms!
We had fun saying “Hi Ken” to each other. Good times flying.

Ken HowellsGeneral MemberI don’t see any Santa Anas or Red Flag Warnings here.
Blanket closures like this are bureaucratic laziness at its finest.

Ken HowellsGeneral MemberBaa!
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberPlease let the forest closure expire today! Please, please, PLEASE!!!!
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberBut Tom, that isn’t fair to the people who can’t launch Crestline! We all have to suffer equally!
Actually, I applaud Tom’s clear-headed appraisal. Using Crestline launch should be considered OK.
Just keep your tobacco in your cheek and your gender concealed.
Ken HowellsGeneral MemberI celebrate Nita!
Ever cheerful and loving she embraced the world and everyone in it.
I started learning to hang glide in the summer of 1985 and Andy died from cancer that Labor Day weekend. I hadn’t seen the place when it was party-like but understood that it was. Nita could have packed-up and walked away from the airpark and hang gliding and been perfectly justified and understood.
But she stayed a while, and hung on long enough for a smooth transition and clout later when the State water project threatened. There were some fun Christmas parties at Nitas with the pilots way back when.
So I got to keep flying hang gliders here in my home town and got involved with the club and got a job in hang gliding and met a whole lot of interesting people and made some lifelong friends.
Few have had such an impact on the course of my life.
Thanks Nita!
Love,
Ken

Ken HowellsGeneral MemberFlying a hang glider mid-afternoon with the air to myself (unusually, but pandemic) and I saw a lone individual arrive at Marshall Peak and take it in. Decided to drop in and say hello.
